About the author and researcher
Micah Blumberg
Independent researcher, author, publisher, founder, and technology product builder.
I develop source-auditable research programs and the software, publications, knowledge systems, and spatial interfaces that make them possible to inspect.

A research record readers can open paper by paper.
The collection spans neuroscience and consciousness, physics and mathematics, computational systems, research methods, and the bridges among them. The SVGN index links to both provider copies so readers can inspect the actual papers rather than relying on a biography or summary.
The central programs are Self-Aware Networks, which investigates oscillatory neural coordination, neural rendering, cognition, and artificial neurology; and Super Information Theory, which develops an information-and-time-density research program across physics and mathematics. Connected papers make the assumptions, comparisons, methods, limitations, and falsification conditions explicit.

One practice, several connected forms.
The through-line is to recover hidden structure, preserve the evidence, explain it clearly, and build an interface through which another person can examine the result.
Super Information Theory
Independent work across information, time density, gravitation, quantum foundations, spectral methods, and formal or computational research programs.

Working principles
Knowledge should expand agency.
AI and software are most useful when they help people inspect evidence, understand complexity, preserve context, and make better decisions. The interface should reveal the source rather than hide it.
- Make the source visible.
- Separate evidence from interpretation.
- Make complexity navigable.
- Use AI to extend human judgment.
- Keep corrections and limitations public.
Research, publishing, and product collaboration.
I am interested in conversations involving scientific communication, humane AI, spatial computing, neurotechnology, knowledge infrastructure, and ambitious interdisciplinary research.
